In reply to the discussion: Rush Limbaugh Closes First Hour With Dead Air [View all]leftynyc
(26,060 posts)68. Here on WABC in NY
It's rush, then hannity, then Mark Levin - 9 hours of sewage so toxic I'm surprised the radio still plays. This lineup may have changed - I used to listen to talk radio cuz it used to make me laugh at them but it got so bad, I turned it off for good around 5 years ago.

Did he set it up as some kind of "moment of silence", eulogizing "the death of the 1st Amendmant"?

Is this "dead air" just silence, or is it bumpers and station identification? I know Faux News

A good start, but I can't help thinking that it's Clear Channel trying to offer a token victory...

I'm sure that's it. He must have been in mid-sentence when some of this dead air occured, right?

Actually, this was not a technical problem. Rush is screwed. See MediaMatters for the juicy details.

Hell, it takes longer than that just to get the spittle off the microphone.

77 of the 86 spots aired today were free Ad Council ads. Of the 9 paid spots, 7 were from sponsors
